Weekend Roll: The Squad Rolls Deep
The squad has been spread far and wide in recent weeks with a contingent of TBD out in Chicago for Intelligentsia Cup while those who stayed closer to NYC snuck in a variety of summer escapes from the city.
However with Intelligentsia Cup winding down after much success on the bike and even more fun off the bike (more on that soon on the TBD Journal) the team was reunited in NYC and did what we do best -- snuck a casual team ride with a big portion of the squad in attendance. While the team's Men of Leisure Rules might not have been in full effect the coffee stop was exceedingly long and and exceedingly pleasant. Not a bad way to spend the day prior to the CRCA Fort Lee Criterium.

Making the most of one of the last weekends to feature fall foliage before winter settles onto NYC
This weekend, a band of TBDers ventured north to seek those open pastures of congestion-free roads and a sizable dose of Autumn color. With a mix of gear, from slick-tired ‘cross bikes to aero road bikes with rim brakes, we came to party.
It’s officially that time of year: when we chase fall colors as they make their way down the Hudson Valley
With a small crew racing Charm City CX it was one of those big team ride weekends for the rest of the squad
While riding the dirt roads from reservoir to reservoir in Westchester County we may have missed out on our dam goal but we had a damn fine day on the bike.
The first double header weekend of cyclocross is in the books at Nittany Cyclocross. Part I of the TBD recap covers images from two fast and hot days of racing.
When you're not quite ready for cyclocross season to start heading to the trails seems like a perfect alternative. Then people start falling off bridges into the mud below....
While some of the squad was in action at races in Delaware and Vermont, To Be Determined's Matthew Vandivort headed to the woods for a mental reset before cyclocross season gets underway.
